Pre-season rides on Sunday April 24 (varied start times)
We are looking at 21°c making for a glorious day for a pre-season ride on Sunday. We have a Level 2 and a Level 3 ride going out, so take your pick!
Why do we ask for an RSVP? By RSVPing with your Cycle Club account, the Ride Planner is able to keep participants informed of ride changes, apply COVID screening questions, discuss topics related to the ride, and have an expectation of how many to expect. You too will be able to see who will be riding so that you can also plan!
